Composed when he was only 10 years old, Emile Serper wrote this about his composition: “It is my hope that this setting of Ave Maria may have a positive impact and be shared in many ways. After I heard my friends in choir rehearsing the piece, I thought the music might also say, 'Hail, Mother Earth!' It is meant to transcend religions and to serve as a prayer for our planet. The earth needs our healing.&rdquo.

Michael Leighton Jones has created a brilliant sequence of six Marian works that take their lead from their plainsong counterparts. These wonderfully reflective and carefully-crafted motets take the practice of fauxbourdon in new directions, with free harmonic invention linking old to new in a beautifully warm soundworld. Motets may be performed individually on feast days or within the appropriate liturgical season, or the whole sequence can make an effective frame for a concert programme.

First published in 1842, this admired composition has been carefully arranged for SAB a cappella voices. Based on a 16th century French chanson, it contains the depth of many ages. Still appropriate for the worship service, it is also a valued concert piece, useful for small choirs both young and seasoned.
